I sat on the bed and looked around the room, the pink and purple coloring making my head spin. The voice trying to make me give in fading slowly before the shower in the other room turned off. The door slowly opened and someone walked out.

"Hey, it's all your's." A familiar voice said.

My head turned towards the voice, turning red as I did. Akihiko stepped towards me, his towel loosely wrapped around his waist. I turned my head away quickly, covering my eyes.

"Put on some clothes!" I yelled.

"Huh? Oh!" He hurried into the bathroom to dress.

After a couple minutes he came out, blushing just as badly as he. His silver hair was still dripping and his clothes were messy and disheveled, obvious that he had been in a hurry to cover up.

"Um… Please don't tell the others about this." Akihiko senpai said.

"No problem."

He seemed off put by my answer as he hurried out and looked for the stairs. Avoiding the shadows lurking around, we hurried around the rooms to find the stairs.

"What does that mean?" Senpai asked, seeming a little peeved.

"I would be embarrassed about them knowing too." Especially Junpei.

We hurried upstairs and saw Junpei and Yukari. Junpei's brows were furrowed into a scowl as he glared daggers over us. Something was definitely off about him. Did the same happen to him? Or was he being his usual overprotective self?

"Junpei, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He practically growled.

After our short exchange, we headed to the stairs. Akihiko and Junpei kept looking at each other, a sense of hostility hanging in the air. Junpei and Yukari must have gone through the same thing, but why would Junpei be mad at Akihiko? Could be be made because he knows the same thing happened to us? Even though I love how protective he came be, he's just too protective somethings.

My legs were pulled tightly to my chest as I sat on my bed. Why was Junpei so mad? Why does he do this? Go from being the good old Junpei I love, to acting like he hates me. I can't take it! Tears pooled in my eyes as I clenched my fists. It isn't fair, he can't have this much control over my feelings. He can't hurt me! But he can… Because I let him.

"Minako?" Fuuka said as she knocked. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah." I quickly wiped my eyes and crossed my legs.

Fuuka walked in and sat on the edge of my bed, placing a hand on my knee.

"He's just under a lot of stress. Don't worrk."

I nodded slowly, the tears threatening to come out again. He is just stressed. Just stressed. Junpei does get a lot of crap from the others, and I'm sure having a girl being better than him does hurt his ego. A chuckle left my lips as I smiled sadly.

"He really is an idiot somethings. If he just accepted some help it would be easier for him. I always offer to help him, but I'm sure he wouldn't want the girl who's more powerful than him to also be the one to help him."

"Minako, don't talk like that. It isn't your fault." Fuuka hugged me close. "Junpei shouldn't be so rude about this, he needs to get over himself."

I laughed and hugged back.

"That's rather bold."

"O-oh! I'm sorry…" She looked down.

"No, it's okay. It suits you."

We laughed together before Fuuka dragged me down to the kitchen to make treats.
